CUTTING-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 673,473, dated May '7,1901.

Application filed March 31-, 1900.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH HUGO PEUcK- ERT, a subject of the Emperorof Germany, and a resident of Siegmar, Saxony, in the GermairEmpire,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines forCutting Strips from Paper or Fabrics, of which the following is aspecification,

The object of the present invention is to provide a cu tting-machine inwhich the fabric or paper to be cut is squeezed by meansof apressing-plate and a pressing-roller at the precise place where thecircular knife penetrates into the material.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which--Fignre 1 is a longitudinal section of the machine with the clamping orsqueezing device. Figs. 2 and 3 are a transverse and a longitudinalsection of the clampingorsqueeZ- ing device. Fig. 4 is a simplifiedarrangement of the clamping or squeezing device.

In Fig. 1', Cl, is the driving-shaft, which r0- tates both the circularknife-shaft b and the cylinder 0, on which the individual strips roll upin common. By the rotation of the cylinder c the material is drawn offfrom a roller (1 and guided along under the knives.

To obtain a secure cutting of the material, the fabric or the paper isheld fast or squeezed in at the place X, Fig. 2, where the circularknife f executes the cut. The fabric or the paper is held fast orsqueezed in by a pressplate g and a press-roller h. Each pressplate g,as shown in Figs. 3and 6, is provided Serial No. 10,985. (No model.)

with a slot through which the circular knife passes. The press-roller his also provided with a groove or channel, so as to allow thepenetration of the circular knife. ing plates are held yieldinglyagainst the pressing-rollers h, as in Figs. 2 and 3.

The yielding pressing-plates g, Figs. 2 and 3, are rotatably mounted onthe rod 70, and each is provided with an arm g, in which a spring-bolt gis arranged which props against a stationary rail 9 The bearing B, Figs.2 and 3, for the shaft t'of the pressing-rollers h is horizontallyadjustable and obtains such a position that the squeezing in of thematerial takes place precisely at the place 41;.

In Fig. 4 the pressing-plate g is pressed directly against thepressing-roller h by the spring m of a fixed rail n.

I claim as my invention- In combination, a roller having a groove in itsperiphery, a pivoted two-armed press-arm having a bifurcation in one armarranged in line with said bifurcation, a rotary cutter extendingthrough said bifurcation and entering the groove and a spring bearingagainst the opposite arm of said press-arm, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.
